ID: I00080
Name: Martin Standridge 1
Sex: M
Birth: 12 OCT 1806 in Georgia 1
Death: AFT. 1880 in Richland Creek, Arkansas 1
Note:
From C. L. Boyd's book, Standridge: Martin Standridge was born Oct. 12,
1806 in Georgia. He died after 1880 on Richland Creek in Newton Co. AR.
He is buried in Richland Cemetery near Pelsor, Ar. He has no marker.
Fred Ross stated that Martin's wife was Rosie Meek, but I (C. L.) believe
he confused Martin Standridge and Martin Ross. Jesse Waits thought
Martin Standridge was married to a Branch. This can not be proved
either. The family Bible lists Martin's wife only as Katherine
Standridge. Martin and Katherine were listed in the 1840 Carroll Co. AR.
census. Then they are listed in the Newton Co. Ar. censuses for 1850,
1860, 1870, and 1880. Katherine Standridge was born Sept. 15, 1805 and
is said to haved to be 107 years old. She is also buried at Richland
Cemetery. Family legend says that the family decided to move from
Carroll Co. Ar. to Texas in about 1836. When they arrived on Richland
Creek Newton Co. Ar., game was so plentiful that they settled there.
Some of the family did move on to Texas as some of the kids are born in
Texas the census says. The Standridge men were great bear hunters and
most supplemented their income with whiskey making. This family went
into Union County and Jackson County Illinois when moving to AR. This
was also the route of many Cherokee Indians. No family tie has been made
to Indians; but legend passed down is that many of the Standridge men
married Indian women.
